Review: Josie Maran Argan Oil

I was always skeptical to try out the different beauty oils on the market because I hate having a greasy face and hate having greasy hands. But I heard so much positive raves about the Josie Maran Argan Oil that I decided I want to try it out.

I actually bought this smaller size in late summer and used it here and there during my exchange trip. But once I got back to Vancouver, I've been using it almost daily as my moisturizer. So I feel like I can finally share with you my opinion.

I really like the dropper!

How I use it:
I usually use half a dropper. I would put a little on my forehead, each cheek and my chin. Then I'd massage it in with my hands.

What I think:
I have pretty dry skin so I think this helped with dry patches but not more so than regular cream moisturizer. I actually didn't really like it because it does not ABSORB into my skin! Everyone talks about how it's not greasy at all, but I find it's still oily even after 10-15 mins!! Am I using too much?

Not only would my face be oily, but my hands would still be oily too. Then I have to wash my hands or else my palms will get everything I touch oily.

The consistency

See how it's shiny? My skin would feel oily for a long time!

Also, I expected it to smell good but there's no smell what so ever.

Overall, I'm not a fan of this product. I hate how it doesn't absorb and leaves me feeling oily. I know it's natural and suppose to be good for you but I haven't encountered any problems with my Dermalogica line so I probably will not try any more oils.

From what I've learned about using facial oils, yes, that's probably too much. The trick seems to be using like 3 drops and pressing it into my face. That said, my skin is super dry during the winter so I enjoy using more than that at night. I marinate my face. :)

I like to comment on this post because I like natural beauty products and have tried the authentic argan oil in morocco and it works wonders . also have heard great reviews about rosehip oil which is thick but good for the skin . <the more natural beauty products are the healthier you are .
